Enjoy this sneak peak of Lee and Matt discussing the relevance of knee valgus in injury risk.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the principles for creating a solid foundation in early-stage rehab to facilitate success in late-stage rehab and return to sport.
- Learn how to address quadriceps arthrogenic muscle inhibition early beyond basic approaches, and understand the implications of failing to do so.
- Learn how to address knee avoidance movement strategy & develop eccentric quadriceps control.
- Understand progressive knee loading and how to develop gluteal strength in a relevant way.
- Understand how to monitor the impact of rehab on the knee health, especially as loads progress.
- Learn the key criteria that must be achieved to allow a safe return to running, and how to guide the athlete through this process.
Quadriceps Inhibition
Go beyond quads over fulcrum, and learn other means of overcoming AMI early in rehab to ensure success in late stage rehab.
Knee Avoidance Strategies
Learn how to restore confidence in the knee and ensure the athlete can accept load through the knee with good control.
Return to Running
Take the guess work out of returning to run & learn how to be criteria-driven in this process and safely progress through a running program.
